Hiyori left her hometown to pursue her passion, track and field, by enrolling in Tokyo's Sakuragaoka High School. Looking for a part-time job in Tokyo, she ended up working as an apprentice manager for her classmates (and LIP×LIP members) Yuujirou Someya and Aizou Shibasaki. The story revolves around the coming-of-age of Hiyori (as she juggles school, extracurricular life, and managing) and LIP×LIP (as they shine on stage).

Reviews

Episode 11 may be one of the worst, most self-unaware pieces of fiction I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing

the last episodes ruined it all

Great introduction to a new generation of HoneyWorks main characters, but the final arc leaves a bit to be desired.
